Sort of sad Shane's gone, but he was on borrowed time anyway, and all of his conflicts were getting stale.
Rick is turning into more and more of a badass, I like it.
Tdogg got lines for the first time in several episodes. Hooray!
It's the zombie apocalypse, and Glenn is again turning down a warm bed with a hot piece.
We need more Daryl, and fast.
The farm obviously gets raided next episode. I have read no spoilers, but here's who I'd expect to die:
Zombie Chow tier: Carol, Tdogg, Hershel's boring *** family
Medium Danger tier: Andrea, Hershel
Low Danger tier: Daryl, Glenn, Maggie
Untouchable: Rick, Lori, Carl
At best, I can see 8 moving on from the farm (perhaps switch Hershel and Tdogg). Obviously a new setting (prison?) is coming. I really hope we find Merl there, between he and the Gov, season 3 should have ready-made conflicts.
